This Stein is more intricate in person than what the pictures detail. I bought it for my father for his birthday and it was a huge hit. I originally got it to be a new coffee cup for him, but it is indeed best suited for alcohol since the cup is much bigger than what the pictures show. We really like the fact that the inner stainless steel tumbler comes off easily and is a breeze to clean. The sellers are also amazing and kept up communication the whole time. They made sure I got it in time for the birthday with time to spare. Will definitely be buying from this store again. ~Cheers
